Mostly, I just liked the image of reading a book by the fireside, smoking my pipe. I like the smell of pipe tobacco in its pouch, and even while it's lit and being smoked. But I finally decided that the aftertaste the next morning - something like the Russian Army having marched through my mouth - just wasn't worth it. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389193386974951036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-68171021316988209322021-10-23T06:50:50.930-04:002021-10-23T06:50:50.930-04:00My very first proper job was in a small town newsp...My very first proper job was in a small town newspaper office. The editor smoked a pipe and the deputy editor smoked cigarettes. The worked together in a small office. If you went in you could hardly see across the room for smoke - it was like wading through treacle! Very happy memories of my time there.Around My Kitchen Tablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840917368903178857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-27125942091486963372021-10-22T07:19:36.898-04:002021-10-22T07:19:36.898-04:00

It is also good at pointing when asked for direction, "turn left at the next junction ... then right ... and straight ahead!" Also, when I meet someone in the street I take the pipe off my mouth and raise it to say hello. Better than raising my hat in salutation.<br /><br />I don't put tobacco in it. I put a little fresh flower every day. A small rose, a daisy or something small sticking out of the pipe ... like a little man made of Lego bricks.<br /><br />It certainly attracts attention. And keeps people away from me on the bus or train. <br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-78494285375823155322021-10-21T00:24:19.596-04:002021-10-21T00:24:19.596-04:00You can still buy pipes at any Tobacconist.

My younger son has one and smoked it for a while, but I think he prefers cigarettes, they're quicker to get going and don't need all the care of a pipe. i'd prefer he gave up altogether, but that's up to him.

I much preferred the pipe. He mixed Kentucky Club and some kind of cherry tobacco. It smelled better in the can than burning in the pipe, but the pipe wasn't that bad.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-66592468998420565352021-10-20T22:00:13.758-04:002021-10-20T22:00:13.758-04:00Yes, you can buy them.

Then he had to have that special surgery on his ears and he is no longer even allowed to be around smoke at all.<br /><br />Pipe smoke has a very nice scent to it most of the time.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-79774973985597718972021-10-20T20:02:26.109-04:002021-10-20T20:02:26.109-04:00I absolutely hate the smell of cigarettes but for ...I absolutely hate the smell of cigarettes but for some reason I don't mind the smell of a pipe. My Uncle was a cigar smoker and my older brother is too. Since I loved my Uncle to pieces and I love my brother as much, I will tolerate a cigar smoker...outdoors of course! So pipes are just so sophisticated and I would smoke one if it made me look smarter...Nah, forget it.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-74734751253165803832021-10-20T16:43:50.485-04:002021-10-20T16:43:50.485-04:00My grandpa smoked a pipe and I inherited one of hi...My grandpa smoked a pipe and I inherited one of his.
